Born on February 22, 1941, in Duncannon, Pennsylvania, Barry was the cherished son of Alice Bornman-Deppen.

His dedication to his fellow soldiers and to his country was unwavering—a reflection of his strength, courage, and deep sense of duty.

On March 14, 1991, Barry married Edith, in Panama City, Panama. Together, they built a home filled with love and laughter. There was never a day Barry wasn’t cracking a joke or sharing a smile—his laughter could fill any room and lift the spirits of everyone around him.

Barry is preceded in death by his mother, Alice, and his three children, Michael, Lisa, and Christal. Though they are gone, Barry’s love for them endures beyond this life.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Edith, and his five children and their spouses —Jeff and Dawn Bornman, Pa., Sharon and Rock Rittle, Pa., Randy and Jennifer Bornman, Pa., Stefany and Stacey— his 8 grandchildren and his 10 great grandchildren, who will forever cherish his warmth, wisdom, and the laughter he brought to their lives.
